The SD Card slot is the most interesting thing about the new MacBook Pros.
They take SD cards and SDHC cards, and MMC cards and the mini versions (with appropriate SD card sized adapter).
Apple have resisted adding a card reader to any of their computers until now.
I've certainly noticed in the last couple of years that SD/SDHC cards seems to have become the de-facto memory card standard, despite all Sony's efforts with their memory sticks.
I suppose this ubiquity is what's persuaded Apple that an SD card slot would be a good idea.
It'll certainly make me happy the next time I upgrade - I have a multi-card memory readers, but I never use anything except the SD Card slot. (Camera, radio, CyBook - all SD Cards).
